In securing the co-operation of Mr. Alexander Cushman, who is a thoroughly educated Chemist and practical Apothecary of many years'* experience, I am enabled to assure the public that they will beprepared in the best, purest andmost perfect form, regardless of expense. JAMES McCLINTOCK, M. D., Late Professor of An atomy and Surgery in the Philadelphia College of Medicine and Acting Professor of Midwifery; one of the Consulting Physicians of the Philadelphia Hospital, Bloeckly; late member of the National Medical association: Menibei of the Philadelphia Medical Society; member of the Medico-Chir urgieal College of Philadelphia; formerly President and Professor of Anatomy and Surgery in Castleton Medical Coffece Vermont; and also late Professor of Anatomy and Physiology in Berkshire Medical Institution, Mass &c.&c. Important to Consumptives, And all who are afflicted with Bronchitis, or weakness of the Yungs. Dr. McClintock’s Pectoral Syrup is recommended as one of the best and safest remedies ever used for Bronchitis, Consumption and all. diseases of the Lungs and Air Passages• For any of these forms of disease showing themselves in Cough, Tickling of the Throat, Sense of Tightness in the Throat or Chest, Spitting of Blood, Difficulty of Breathing, Hoarseness or Loss of Voice , Hectic Fever, Night Sweats, &c., this SYRUP has been used with unbounded success for many years; it con tains no opium, morphine or antimony, which injurious drugs form the basis of almost all the quack remedies for lung com plaints. The Great Peculiarity of Dr. McClintock's Pectoral Syrup , is that in all chronic dis eases of the throat and lungs, it may be taken by the most delicate patient with perfect safety. It contains no injurious drugs, like the common remedies used for pectoral complaints. It is pleas ant to the palate, produces no nausea or debility, butmay be taken freely and constantlv, with the certain result of purifying the blood, strengening the stomach, and renovating the entire system ichile Healing and soothing the irritated organs, and producing gradually a\ perfact cure. Price in pint bottles $1; six bottles for $5. Full directions ac companying each bottle. McClintock’s cold and cough Mixture. Colds and recent Coughs, especially if accompanied by fever or infiammatory excitement, require a remedy different in character from the Pectoral Syrup, which is so valuable in chronic com plaints. The Cold and Cough Mixture is precisely the cure for such recent coughs, cold and irritation of the throat and lungs. It is especially valuable for children; no family in our changeable climate, should be without this efficient remedy. which if taken on the first symptoms of cold, would prevent many an attack of Bronchitis, and a fatal issue in consumption. No Laudanum or preparation of Opium, in any shape in this syrup. Price per bottle 25 cents. Purifying the Blood. The folloicing, from the New York Tribune , will doubtless be very seasonable to all who seek not only to preserve their health, but to guard against all possible contingences which threaten to destroy it : “ IVe would call special attention to the importance of purifying the blood. Nothing is so prevalent as a gross and sluggish state of the blood. IVe have no hesitation in recommending to those who would preserve their health, a free use of the best purifying medicine known to modern medical science, viz; Dr. McClintock’s Tonic Alterative Syrup* This remedy is not. only delightful to the taste, but perfectly safe and rapid in its effects. It stimulates the liver and other glands to natural action, gives tone and new vigor to all the func tions, and enables them to throw off all morbid and unhealthy ac cumulations. ” During the extensive practice of Professor McClintock, one of the most celebrated Physicians in Philadelphia , thousands of cases of Scrofula, Erysipelas , Scurvey, Salt Rheum, Tetter , Skin diseases of all kinds, Ulcers, Cancers, Pimples, Boils and Rheumatism, together with Syphilitic and Mercurial diseases in all stages were cured by the free use of Dr\McClintock’ s Tonic Al terative Syrup. For children it is perfectly safe , and from its pleasant taste can be easily given. Those who are troubled with any of the above complaints, should take it regularly, Spring and Fall. Price $1 in large bottles. Six bottles $5. TREATMENT OF DYSPEPSIA. Our National Disease. Feeble or Imberfect Digestion or Dyspepsia , in some of its forms, is truly the National Disease of America. It caases, in directly, thrce-fourtlis of the sickness common to this climate. It causes impure Blood, irritations and acrid llumors in the Stom ach, Liver, Bowels and Glands, and the system thus poisoned be comes a prey to an endless train of evil symptoms, of which the following are a few, viz: Headache , Giddiness , Nervousness, Low Spirits, Dimness of Vision, with. Mote, Speck or IVebs be fore the Eyes, Itching of the N ostrils, Dullness of hearing, and Ringing or Drumming in the Ears, Bad taste in the Mouth, Tightness or Weight about the Chest, Difficulty of Breathing, Sense of Suffocation in lying dozen or ascending stairs, Palpita tion or uneasy feeling about the Heart, Irregular or deficient Ap petite, sense of sinking at the heart, sinking at the Stomach, Ac ridity, Heartburn, pain or fullness in the Abdomen, Costiveness, &c. Some of these symptoms always appear in Dyspepsia. They are often mistaken for, and treated as other diseases. Their main seat and source, however, is the Stomach, and a deranged condition of the digestive f unctions. To meet and overcome those symptoms radically, and restore perfect health and vigor to the system, a safe and certain remedy is found combining all the most valuable ingredients offered by the vegetable Kingdom, in Dr. Me CL INTO CK'S DYSPEPTIC ELIXIR. Its daily use would be a blessing to thousands who suffer from the bane of weakness. As the prescription of a leading physician, it can be used with confidence by all. Price in large bottles , sl.

Milburn, recently delivered a lecture be fore the New Yorh A/eicimtile Library Associations “'The Southern Man.” We annex some extracts which both for their fidelity and beauty will be read with interest. Where the summer lengthens itself into nine continuous months, where the day is deliciousaud the night cooland spicy, the Southern man grow s up a noble specimen of the physical man, endowed with nervous vitality, for he is accustomed from his earliest years to the most active exercises, engaged in all the athletic sports of youth on foot and horseback, in the forest and and the field; used to the pistol and the rifle, and the chase. — Yet in every motion there is a degree of lassitude, surprising to those who understand not the effect of his clime, and which yet imparts a degree of ease, of graceful elegance, rarely possessed except by an inhabitant of a warm southern climate. In the long, glorious noontides, swinging luxuriously in his hammock, he inhales delicious airs, butladen,alas ! with death; they have on his cheek the marks of liis origin, and the tale is sooit told that tqe liver of the southern man is altogether out of order. This is a most magnilicant hint,and the fact wascontem plated by the Greeks who made the word “melancholy,” which meaus, by etymology, “a black or disordered liver.” Wefullyagree with the gifted author of the above ex tract,and are happy to call the attention of those having a diseased liver, or any of those diseased so com mom to a Southern climate, to to Hampton’s Vegetable Tincture the great invigorator of the system; by its use all sufferingfrom lassitude and weakness be comes robust and full of energy, we offer below some ofthe un solicited testimony, Washington, A/ay 17,1853.

There can be no question that the Cherry Pectoral has by its thousand on thousand cures ot Colt's, Coughs, Asthma, Croup, Influenza, l’ronchiis &.C., very much reduced the proportion of deaths from consumptive diseases in this country. The Pills are as good as the Pectoral and will cure more complaints. Everybody needs more or less purging Purge the blood from its impurities. Purge the Bowels. Liver and the whole visceral system from obstructions. Purge out the diseases W’hich fasten on the body, to work Sits decay. But for disease, we should die only of old age. Take antidotes early and thrust it out from the system, before it is yet too strong to yield. Ayer’s Pills do thrust out disease, not only while it is weak, but when it .has taken a strong hold. Read the astounding statements of those who have been cured by them from dread ful Scrofula, Dropsy, Ulcers, Skin Diteasts, Rheum;.:ism, Neu ralgia, Dyspepsia, internal Pains, Billions Complaints.
